Maximise your Event with Facebook and other Social Media Networks

Saturday 12th of November saw Mel Phillips presenting a round of presentations to the Events Queensland Conference attendees. The (short) presentations covered using Social Media (particularly Facebook) for events and were in conjunction with Stephen Lock from Gold Coast Events. As part of the preparation for the event Mel worked to create an e-Guide specifically for Event Managers and Co-ordinators on how to best leverage Facebook for their events to market, advertise and enhance the event.

Attendees were invited to tweet using the #2011EQConference hashtag over the course of the event for their chance to win a printed copy of the e-Guide. For those attendee’s who weren’t the lucky winners you are able to download your own copy of the e-Guide along with the presentation slides for the event which contains all of the planned notes for discussion along with the slides presented by Stephen.
